    Lil' Wayne only has two good classics. Tha Carter and Tha Carter III. I respect his hustle in 2008 because he was actually trying to break away from his roots as a Cash Money rapper and become a superstar but man, we need that Wayne back.

    I also hated his voice but once I got used to it he was, and still is in my top 10 of all time

    setting aside the fact that he had mixtape songs in constant, and national rotation, let's have a look at some wayne singles from 05 through 08:

    "Fireman"
    "Hustler Muzik"
    "Shooter"
    "I'm a D Boy"
    "Stuntin Like My Daddy"
    "Leather So Soft"
    "Gossip"
    "A Milli"
    "I'm Me"

    Because Wayne was considered the best rapper in the game in his prime (let's say, late 2000s) and was TRASH compared to the best rapper in the game in the previous era (let's say, early 2000s Eminem).

    And for the record even though I'm no Wayne fan, Wayne in his prime is light years better than wack a--- Kendrick Lamar in his prime.

    Of course Mr know it all culture vulture hipster @WPG shows up to argue with people who don't agree with his opinions. Why does a guy who has written for just about all the hip hop publications spend time on a forum bashing people for there own opinions? You would think he would be above that
